Issue/Introduction

We're looking to download Web Agent and Agent for Siebel for our
environment to upgrade the existing ones, and we'd like to know an
easy way to know which Agent version is installed already on the
machine.

How can we get that information ?

 

Environment

Web Agent all versions

Resolution

At first glance, on the OS, when a SiteMinder product is installed,
you should find a repository called :

  install_config_info 

In this one, you should find a file called :

  *-version.info

in which you'll find the component name and its version.

To give a sample. The Web Agent Option Pack 12.52SP1CR09 will have
that file name :

   ca-wa-opack-version.info

Old Web Agent version as 6SP5CR35 will show the file name :

   nete-wa-version.info

More, in the latest AdminUI, you'll find a section that list the Agent
instances registered with the Policy Server :

   Infrastructure / Agents / Agent Instances :

   It provides a table like this one :

   | Host            | Type     | Subtype  |         Version | Trusted Host |
   |-----------------+----------+----------+-----------------+--------------|
   | wa.training.com | WebAgent | APACHE24 | 12.52.0109.2620 | myWebAgent   |

Finally, on Linux and Unix systems, in the file :

  /var/.com.zerog.registry.xml

you'll find the preceeding version installed and upgraded to the
current one.
